Description nor 2003-08-23 00:01:24 UTC

i installed falconseye (1.9.3-r1) with emerge and the dependency timidity (2.12.0). when i 
start falconseye it complains about a missing timidity.cfg, no midi sound is played. 'touch 
/usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg' solves the error message but still no sound. all other 
sounditems are played. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge falconseye 
2. falconseye 
3. 
Actual Results:  
falconseye start up and prints the following on the console 
....................../usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg: No such file or directory 
timidity: Can't read any configuration file. 
Please check /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg 

Expected Results:  
no this form bugs me 

i think that during the installation of timidity a timidity.cfg must be copied to /usr/share/timidity

solution is to either install a default cfg file or close as INVALID because we make the user set it up theirself ...

As noted in the timidity++ ebuild (einfo output) the config file is installed
in /usr/share/timidity/config and needs to copied to /usr/share/timidity
and configured. Closing.
